Why Ellie loves the forest…

I love all the forests around because there’s always something new to see, something unique in its own way around every single corner, you never know if there’s going to be a surprise such as a kangaroo, emu, a bird or simply a tiny mushroom.

Everything is special and I’m glad to call it home.



OneFortyOne acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their deep connections to land, water, and community. We pay our respect to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all First Nations people today.

In Aotearoa New Zealand, Māori communities have a strong spiritual connection between people and the land – the wellbeing of one sustains the wellbeing of the other. We strive to build meaningful relationships with iwi as tangata whenua (people of the land/region), to be responsible intergenerational kaitiaki (stewards/guardians) of the land where our forests grow.
